THREAD: "Tax dodgers. Sex traffickers. Drug cartels. Terrorist organizations. Wall Street fraudsters. They all use anonymous shell companies here in the United States to hide money from authorities and get away with their crimes." act.credoaction.com/sign/corporate…
"The United States is a haven for tax evasion on par with Switzerland. We are one of the few countries that does not require notice of the real, living person who is creating one of the 2,000 new corporations that appear in America every single year."
"Anonymous corporations have been used by the Iranian government to escape sanctions and buy a New York skyscraper, by Mexican cartels to launder millions in drug money through an Oklahoma firm, by the super-rich to evade taxes ...
"... and even to donate millions in untraceable money to super PACs determined to sway our elections."

THREAD on Jared Kushner's interminable corruption: theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
"A real estate company part-owned by Jared Kushner has received $90m in foreign funding from an opaque offshore vehicle since he entered the White House as a senior adviser to his father-in-law Donald Trump.
"Investment has flowed from overseas to the company, Cadre, while Kushner works as an international envoy for the US. The money came through a vehicle run by @GoldmanSachs in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven that guarantees corporate secrecy.

THREAD-‘Fortress Mentality’ Grips Trump Labor Agency as Critics Circle news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re… by @benjaminpenn
"In early 2018, members of the U.S. Department of Labor’s senior political staff arrived at work to discover their security codes to get into Secretary Alexander Acosta‘s executive suite no longer worked. Around the same time, some appointees lost access to Acosta’s calendar.
"Most political employees within DOL previously enjoyed unfettered entry to the expansive chambers. In fact, the door was often left ajar. But from that winter day forward, no more than perhaps seven people—members of Acosta’s inner circle—knew the new code.

"In mid-March, the payday lending industry held its annual convention at the Trump National Doral hotel outside Miami. ... The industry had felt under siege during the Obama administration, as the federal government moved to clamp down."
"On the edge of the Doral’s grounds, as the payday convention began, a group of ministers held a protest pray-in, denouncing the lenders for having a feast while their borrowers 'suffer and starve.'

Thread: Out of Control Crisis at the Wide-Open Southern Border with Record Surges of Drugs, Gang Members, and Illegal Aliens

1. Here is an editorial from the Combat Veterans for Congress PAC:
2. For the last 75 years, the US Congress voted hundreds of billions of dollars to fund the US armed forces to protect the borders of many foreign countries, and funded the construction of the border walls in those foreign countries.
3. To date, 65 countries and the Vatican have built border walls that actually work; they have successfully prevented the incursion of unwanted and dangerous entrants.

#WhatIWouldAskMueller

Mueller, your last indictment was Stone on Jan 25th.
Barr was sworn in on Feb 14th.
Did you intend for Stone to be the last indictment or did you expect to be indicting others?
Did Barr interfere in any way with your ability to make further indictments?
#WhatIWouldAskMueller

Mueller, Did you consider Following the Money part of your scope?
Did anyone interfere with your ability to Follow the Money?
Did you have complete access to all of Trumps Tax Returns & all of his Bank Accounts & are they part of the underlying evidence?
#WhatIWouldAskMueller

Were you aware that Don Jr lied to Congress and if so why didn't you indict Don Jr for lying to Congress?
Did you investigate Jared Kushner?
Did anyone interfere with your ability to investigate or charge Trumps children including his son in law Jared?

#Thread @PatrickBuchanan on @IngrahamAngle's show discussing the Fate of America:

"What's happening here quite simply is, even under the Trump Era, that the borders of the United States are basically collapsing...after awhile we cease to be the America we grew up in" 1/
.@IngrahamAngle on Border Crisis: "They say the border is at the breaking point well sometimes I wake up and I feel like I'm at the breaking point because here we elected Donald Trump, it was about building the Wall, enforcing the border, deporting all the violent criminals" 2/
.@IngrahamAngle: "The sovereignty our founding fathers understood was critical for the survival of the Republic was rooted in the idea of keeping us free, which I think we forget about. To be a truly free people a foreign power, in this case many countries, can't control us." 3/

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

0. I've been getting a lot of questions about what #Stage5 is, and what were the other stages. Since you needed to have followed #QAnon from the start, here are the various stages of #TheStorm and how they have unfolded...
1. Stage 1: Well, it's TV Billionaire Donald J Trump, of course. He was chosen by the #whitehats to kick things off because he was well known, well liked and had no political baggage having never held office. A patriot, Christian and believer in founding principles of freedom.
2. Stage 2: This is getting rid of the #DeepState holdovers, replacing bad judges and sending a constant message of #LockHerUp and #DrainTheSwamp. It's war of minds, setting up the message of what is to come. It was when we first heard #CalmBeforeTheStorm.
